Balm For The Soul – Chapter 7
As Tina said good bye to Cathy outside of her apartment she
knew she would spend the next day just relaxing before she went back to work on
Monday. She thanked Cathy again for encouraging her to go away with her on the
weekend trip. It had proved to be just what Tina had needed to temporarily pull
her out of the funk she seemed to be in.
As she caught up on her laundry and prepared her self a light
meal her mind drifted back to the paintings she had purchased. In all the years
Tina had been with Bette and all the art shows they had attended together only
a few artists renditions had caught her attention…enough for her to purchase
anyway. Most of the time they had been purchased as a gift for Bette, she had
always been the expert with the eye for art.
Living in such a small apartment she thought where she would
have the space to hang five different paintings and do them justice with the
natural light shining through the windows. Why had the locations been so
familiar? Why did they each seem so connected to a special memory for her? As
she pondered these thoughts she dug the telephone number Lydia had exchanged
with her for her check out of her purse and laid it on the table.
Picking up her cell she slowly dialed the number. On the
third ring she heard an automated message just before it went to voice mail.
Hanging up the phone she decided to not leave a message because she remembered
Lydia’s comment the night she gave her the number…the artist valued her privacy
and probably wouldn’t meet with Tina to answer her questions.
Making plans to try again tomorrow…she came to the conclusion
if the artist would not meet with her maybe she would at least talk with her on
the phone…especially if Tina was persistent…which she intended to be until she
got answers. After all she had too much riding on the information she stood to
gain from talking to the unknown artist…gaining custody of Angie back she
thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Just after eating Sunday brunch Tina sat down on the couch
and dialed the mystery artist’s number.
“Hello”
As soon as Tina heard the artist’s voice it sent a shiver
down her spine. It was the same voice that had drove her body to such heights;
she thought she might never come back down to earth. It was the voice of
someone she would never forget…Bette!

no kiss?aarrrgh,, my stomach is in ache everytime i read story about bette and tina apart like this,,,,
Go get Angie!
I like this story its very interesting.. having said that i think tina has A lot of nerve asking Bette to help her after what she did to her.
I know I would do anything to regain custody of my child, so I do understand Tina…but I really don´t like her. Great story. Thank you.
This is so heartbreaking. I can’t believe Tina didn’t even offer Bette any comforting words or at the very least she could have stayed for a few minutes to tell Bette something about Angie. She just drops off a picture, takes the bank information and leaves Bette in tears with I’ll call you tomorrow? Tina is a cold fish but she knows how to pull Bette in and now her worries are over. She got what she needed, and didn’t even have to work for it (or sleep with the devil as she stated before). Does she think of Bette as the devil? If I were Bette I would not have released any of that financial information without first contacting a lawyer. Why should she trust Tina now? She handed everything over on a silver platter without any inkling if she would ever see Angie again. I’m not Tina bashing but I really don’t understand her priorities, her motives, or her gall. As usual all Tina has to do is use the Angie card, say I’m sorry and Bette is putty in her hands. I want Angie to be safe and back with her intended parents but as I said my heart breaks for Bette no matter the outcome. She’s already lost 10 years of Angie’s life and her own is sad and pitiful. I just hope Tina doesn’t add to the heartache. Thanks for a great story. It’s very touching even though it’s sad.
Shame on you Tina.Great story,thank you for the update and PPS.
reading the latest chapters, i believe in this Tina to at least love Angie and still love Bette. I understand why Tina didnt give Bette any more comfort than passing her a pic of Angie. To Tina, Bette doesn’t love her anymore and it’s probably not in her place or right to offer more comfort. Let’s see what Tina will do after she uses the money from Bette to fight for Angie. I hope she will correct her mistake of neglecting her own life with Angie and deprivation from Bette by returning Angie to Bette. To me, the worst is Henry. He is mad. Who the f(*D does he think he is to take Angie away from her rightful parents. Tina was blinded by her grief, hatred/love and lost her senses. Such is the effect of a great love gone wrong. It is hard to recover from being cheated by someone like BP.
Great chpater. Seems that we all would like to throttle Tina at this moment. She was a bit cold-hearted with Bette and though I will always love the Tina from the show, this one has me feeling a bit hard toward her. Bette offered her comfort why couldn’t she do the same thing for Batte. Hopefully she will realize what she has done before she leaves Bette’s property and get her behind back in that house and hold Bette and comfort her like she should. Can’t believe she was that cold and distant toward Bette. I don’t think she should tell Bette she wasn’t thinking clearly. Now that she has found out that she is a millionaire she should get the best lawyer se can find and get her baby back and take her straight to Bette when it is over. Hope Joyce is still living and can do her magic once again. An older and wiser Joyce can only mean she is also more treacherous which is what they need to get Angie back. Thanks. PPS
Read both your updates on this story. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story.
wwwoowwww wonderfull ggooo get angie thanks for the update…
Its hard to feel sorry for Tina in this situation. It seems she got what was coming to her. Bette, on the other hand, deserves a lot of sympathy for the situation she is in. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with this one!
I really hate that bette always give in to tina, but love is love…Tina should have to work hard for gainibg bette trust butthis is about Angelica and we all know bette will do anything for her…But i think if Tina gets Angie back bette should try to see Angelica but let Tina ho and never look back..im sorry yo say
